Still waiting for an answer on this . From where im sitting the various mainstream media outlets are saying that this update has support for PiStorm. Yet there is no mention of it in the release notes. This is a big deal so why is there nothing mentioned?

I read The Register article and my view is that it's just not clearly written. The line "The update targets Amigas with 680x0 processors, including systems enhanced with PiStorm accelerator boards." means it targets classic systems, not PPC-based ones. If calling out PiStorm I don't know why it doesn't also refer to Vampire cards. 🤔

This isn't the same thing as saying there are PiStorm-specific enhancements in the OS.

Original article I read is here, assuming it's the same one: https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/10/amigaos_3_2_3/
